Grant Baker
“My favorite part of research is being able to talk to so many different people and learn about the awesome science that they’re doing. It was great that I was able to talk to the graduate students in my lab and other REU students since that gave me an opportunity to learn about my lab’s […]
Andrew Alden
“I liked learning about how the program is interdisciplinary with engineering and science, and specifically for the translational biophotonics cohort, applies both subjects into the world of healthcare.” Learn more about Andrew’s research!
Arianna Roland
“I feel very accomplishment with the goals I set. I was able to create a stable long term prototype and got many successful tests out of it. I was also able to make a lot of friends and I wasn’t staying in my dorm every single day.” Learn more about Arianna’s research!
OJ Pekacar
“I enjoyed my experience, it makes me more confident to stay on the path I’m going.” Learn more about OJ’s research!
Isha Goyal
“My favorite part [of the research experience] is the autonomy I had, my mentors would trust me to do my experiments independently so I felt like a member of the lab in the same aspect as the masters student. I also loved that my mentors would give me side projects (what concentration of collagenase prevents […]
Kamryn Higa
“I think one of the most valuable experiences I gained was the chance to exercise my ability to troubleshoot and critically think. Research obviously comes with lots of trial and error. In the classroom lab setting, there is typically guidance and/or instructions for every step along the way. However, the cool part about working on […]
Boubacar Diallo
“My favorite learning experience was during the Wednesday seminar when the entrepreneurs had a panel. It was very interesting to see engineers that have their own startups and companies.” Learn more about Boubacar’s research!
Kiana Coles
“My primary goal was to learn something. I started at my current lab with little to no knowledge about biology or what fluid dynamics looked like in practice. Ten weeks later, endothelial cell mechanobiology and microfluidic device design have gone from unfamiliar terms to things I can actually engage in conversation about.” Learn more about […]
Erik Camper
“The program has a lab that focuses on cardiovascular tissue engineering (the Bifano lab in which I currently work in) which is exactly what I wanted to do with my career.” Learn more about Erik’s research!
Ohunayo Adewumi
“I was drawn by the university’s prestige and available labs that aligned with my interests.” Learn more about Ayo’s research!
